[NSRCA-discussion] Hatch latch or screws?

[colin chariandy]

I'm finishing the canopy on my Xigris and havent decided between at least one 
4-40 screw at the aft top or a hatch latch.

I've always used 2 screws....would'nt dream of a latch with a glow model. 
However, this is e-powered. I still hear and read occasionally of departing 
canopies and am a little uncertain about the security of a hatch latch.

Is a single hatch latch reliable or should I stick with 4-40s?

Thanks for any feedback.

Colin.
